The Wrestling Smarks Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame is back! It's the time of the year where we shall, as a community, enshrine and immortalize the greatest to ever step foot in this business we all have such a passionate love/hate relationship with!

The nomination process will be handled in two phases.

- Phase one: Each and every member of this forum may send a list in to me of 10 acts they want to nominate for the Hall of fame. You will order your lists 1-10, with whoever your first pick is getting 10 points, the second choice getting 9 points, and so on down the list. The top 10 nominees in terms of points will be finalists for the induction.

- Phase two: The 10 finalists will be announced. You will then be asked to choose 5 of the finalists, and just like the first phase, you will list them 1-5 in order of who you want to give the most points to. The 5 top point getters will be the inductees of that year's Hall of Fame.

- You may nominate anyone who has ever been a part of the business. Wrestlers, tag teams, stables, managers, announcers, promoters, referees... they're all up for nomination. Wrestlers must be at least 42 years old or semi-retired to be eligible.

- Tag teams and stables do count as one pick, so if you wish to nominate The Road Warriors, The Four Horsemen, The Steiner Brothers or whatever, they will only take up one spot on your list. You do not have to list them individually, although of course you can also list members of groups individually if you deem them worthy of induction. So, for example, you may nominate both Evolution and Triple H.

- You can absolutely campaign publicly for people you want to see inducted, but please do not reveal your full lists in the thread.

- Send in your nominations to me via private message. Nominations for the first phase will be open until February 11th. I'll post the finalists after that and we can begin the second phase. My tentative date for when to start revealing the inductees is sometime in March but we'll see how things play out. Anyways...

Send in your nominations now!

I did it.

Y'all better have the same list as me.

We have 5 lists right now with *40 different nominations...

 

[Death By Looch]

What? No one else picked AJ or Randy?

This is an outrage!

No one else has picked one of those guys. Interestingly, one of the forty nominees right now has been given three votes. Everyone else is two or less.

Only one person I’ll push for

DDP, as I said before, even outside of everything he did in the ring, from becoming a wrestler late, and becoming one of the biggest stars in WCW. Everything he’s done for guys like Scott Hall, Jake Roberts, and others imo is one of his greatest contributions to the world of wrestling. I think he be a good shout. Probably are folks who can be made to be more worthy, but I hope you consider him on your list.

I really hope people are factoring in non-wrestler's *HINT HINT*

I had some. Won’t say who, but I had some.

 

[Wiseman]

I had some. Won’t say who, but I had some.

I assume at least one was one that I would like in there. At least one. And that is why I like you Blaze.

There have been 65 unique acts nominated so far. I haven't kept track of previous years' numbers but I'm certain this is a record already and I still haven't gotten lists from everyone I'd expect.

Speaking of which, @Chris @Kross Rhodes @Sky

 

[Hoss]

Oh yeah and @Bobby Barrows as well

 

[Hoss]

A final heads up for the pals @Chris @Sky @Kross Rhodes and @Bobby Barrows that nominations are due by Sunday

 

[Hoss]

And fuck it, a few more tags of various members I see posting around

@Sky Tiger @The Gipper @Tyler2 @The Gurricane @Lethal @Deadd2009

The more representation the better.

 

[The Gipper]

I am open to bribes if anyone wants me to put their wrestlers in my list.

 

[Hoss]

Final reminder to get those lists in by tomorrow.

We've gotten 74 different acts nominated, which is nuts. The race for the top 10 is very tight right now. Every vote counts.
